Chapter 27

"Hey Samuel" Patrick said approaching Samuel "Oh hey, how are you today?" Samuel asked with a smile on his face "I'm fine. What about you?" Patrick asked "Fine. How's your exam going?" "Great. Wait how did you know I was writing exams? I don't remember telling you that" Patrick asked looking at Samuel suspiciously "Don't look at me like that!!" Samuel said with his hands in front of him "My neighbors daughter is in final year in high school" Samuel said and stood up from his sit and motioned Patrick to follow him which Patrick did "Oh okay" Patrick said.

The day for Patrick went normally as ever. Feeding every single person in the huge Asylum. Except the workers who could prepare or buy food for themselves. And today food was oats and milked severed hot along side with four slices of bread and a cold glass of milk. "Too bad the people here waste such delicious meal" Patrick thought and sighed as he moves in the hall of the abnormal patients to Claire cell.

Patrick stood in front of the cell and dropped the tray of food on the floor and he opened the door enough for him and the tray of food to pass. He walked into the cell and saw Clair sleeping. So, he lay the tray on the desk and went to lock the cell door. He sat on the bed and he tapped on Claire foot "Claire. Claire wake up" he repeated four times before Claire stir and opened her eyes. She sat up while rubbing her eyes and yawning. When she removed her hand from her eyes, she saw Patrick and she smiled "Hey Patrick" she said smiling "How are you Claire?" Patrick asked with a grin on his handsome feature "I'm fine. How about you?" "Great" Patrick answered and Claire nodded and she turned her head to the table and saw a plate of steaming oats and milk, bread and a glass of cold milk.

She sat with her feet to the floor and she drew the table close to her and then she began eating "Its good to see that your eating" Patrick said and Claire turned to look at him. She swallowed before she spoke "What?" She asked "I said its good to sew that your eating. Normally, you don't eat like you do now. Wherever I come here to give you food, the first time we met, you don't touch your food or even bother to wake up. It's like am the reason for you eating" Patrick said "You are" Claire said, heads down "What?" Patrick asked "I said you are. When you always come to my cell, you always talk about your life and other things that I got so tired of hearing them. So I did the only thing that could make you go away. I ate" Claire said and she took a spoon filled with Oats and milk and put it in her mouth "She says it as if am a burden" Patrick thought with a gloomy aura around him " Hey Claire?" Patrick said "Yeah?" Claire turned to look at Patrick and saw that he was extremely close to her. Like three inches apart " Do you mind?" Claire asked blush forming on her cheeks "Mind what?" Patrick asked "My personal space" Claire said and pushed Patrick face away from hers and she turned to look at her food with her face red as a tomato 'He doesn't even know what his doing to me?' Claire thought with her hand against her chest "Claire what's wrong?" Patrick asked looking at Claire with worried eyes "Nothing" Claire said and put three spoon of oats in her mouth "Huhh okay" Patrick said.

"So any nightmare lately?" Patrick asked while rubbing Claire head "No" Claire answered with her head against Patrick chest. The two was currently in a position where two lovers would be. In Claire eyes that is. Patrick sat down with his leg open on the bed, with his back against the wall while Claire sat in between his legs with her back head against his chest. Claire was blushing furiously but Patrick couldn't see it. Which Claire was greatful for. "How was the exam today?" Claire asked "Fine as usual. Nothing too difficult" Patrick answered truthfully "That's great" Claire said and they stayed in that silence which was comfortable for the both of them. "Say Claire?" Patrick said wrapping his arms around Claire waist making her jump in surprise and blush furiously as she was being held in place by those strong arms "Y. Yes?" Claire stuttered "I always wanted to know" Patrick whispered into Claire ears making her gulp "What?" Claire stuttered "That.. How did you make your hair so long?" Patrick asked touching Claire's hair "Huh?" Claire thought with numerous question mark on top of her head and then dark aura surround her like ant gathering around sugar "Eh what's wrong?* Patrick stuttered afraid "Patrick" Claire said dangerously making Patrick to gulp before answering "Yes?" "YOU'RE SO STUPID!!!!" She shouted and fisted Patrick face making his back hit against the wall and fall to the ground with a thud, twitching in pain all over.

While Patrick was in pain, Claire pouted angrily sitting on the bed and then her pouting turned to a smile as he thought about what happen 5 minutes ago "And I thought that he wanted to ask me something or tell me something important" she thought blushing with her two palms against her cheeks.

Patrick sighed as he walk along the streets to his home. He wonders why he's walking when he could take a cab home. Maybe it's because he wanted to stretch his legs or just feel the night breeze. "Yeah maybe that" he thought. "Well well well" his thought was interrupted by a man's voice "Huh" he looked up and saw four men surrounding him. He looked at his surrounding and found out that he was in an alley way "Great" he thought with a sigh "What's a pretty boy like you doing out here?" The first man asked looking at Patrick from his toe to his face "He's quite the charmer boss" another dude said to the first man and the man nodded "You got that right Max" the boss said to the one who spoke to him "Let's have fun with him boss man" another guy said looking at Patrick lustfully "Calm down Pablo" the boss said to the one looking at Patrick lustfully "But boss" the last one whined "Miguel, I'll have him first" the boss said to the last one as he moves closer to Patrick.

  Now, most of you would be thinking that Patrick, the pretty boy who looks like a girl and had the charm of a fantasy prince would be weak and fragile and oh so soft. That's when you're wrong, because as soon as the boss touched Patrick with his filthy palm, his wrist was grabbed and the boss and his gangster eyes widen "What the.." the boss said between pain "Don't touch me" Patrick said and kicked the man by his side, sending the man to the wall with a big thud and the other people just stare at Patrick with anger and lust "Who's next?" Patrick asked while cracking his fist "Let's get him" Miguel said and the trio rushed towards Patrick and the next the we heard was screams of pain and aguish.

"Waste of time" Patrick said and spat on the floor close to the four people he just wounded. And those four people were bleeding and twitching in pain.

   "Welcome ho.. Patrick what happened?" Lisa said with widen eyes as she took in her son bleeding stomach "Oh, never noticed" Patrick said looking at his stomach with a smile and then he looked at his mom with a grin and then he collapsed. The last thing he heard was his mother screaming his name, and everything,  went dark.

*Groans* "Patrick" Lisa said with tears running down her eyes as she looked at her son whose eyes was slowly opening "Mom?" Patrick asked looking at his mom "Patrick" Lisa said and hugged Patrick crying into his shirt
Patrick looked around and saw that he was in his room and his father and brother with Tory sitting on his lap sleeping and with the lines on her cheeks, she must have cried to sleep
  "What happened?" Patrick asked sitting up "You shouldn't be moving" Lisa said while cleaning her eyes as she stood up straight "I'm fine" Patrick said "What happened?" Gerald asked and Patrick turned to look at him with a confused face "What?" Patrick asked "I asked what happened to you. Mom said you came home and collapsed on the floor with your stomach bleeding" Gerald and Patrick eyes widen as he looks at Gerald remembering everything that happened. "I got attacked" Patrick said "And that's something I know you could take care of" Peter said "But you got stabbed. How?" Gerald asked "I don't know" Patrick shrug "I don't actually remember the time or even felt the pain of being stabbed" Patrick said "But I'm fine now" Patrick grinned "Next time use a cab when coming home" Lisa said and knocked Patrick on his head "Ouch" Patrick said nursing his head "Don't scare me like that again" Lisa said hugging her child "Promise" Patrick said hugging back.

*Groan* "Mommy" Tory said rubbing her eyes with her hands. She opened her eyes and saw Lisa looking at her, as well as Patrick "Patrick" she whispered as her eyes start to tear up "Big brother" Tory said and ran up to Patrick and give him a big hug, crying into his neck "Hey little sis" Patrick said rubbing Tory's hair trying to calm her down "I thought you were going to die" Tory said rubbing her eyes with her hand crying "Sorry I made you think like that" Patrick said scratching the back of his head sheepishly "Okay" Tory said sniffing clean her eyes an running nose with her hands "You know for a 15 year old, you sure do cry like a kid" Patrick said ruffling Tory hair. Tory looks at him and punched his shoulder "Ouch" Patrick said "What was that for?" Patrick whined "For calling me a kid" Tory said looking away from Patrick "Sorry" Patrick apologize and Tory looked at him with soft eyes and grinned cheekily and Patrick smiled and ruffled Tory hair making her giggle. "Mom" Patrick called out but no one answered making him look around but he saw no one but himself and Tory "They went out the room" Tory said and Patrick nodded  "What is the time?" Patrick asked bringing his foot to the ground "9" Tory answered looking at Patrick clock "I guess I missed dinner" Patrick said and he stood up, only to fall back down on he bed due to pain "Patrick" Tory said "I'm fine" Patrick said holding his stomach. He stood up again, this time with the help of Tory.

    Patrick and Tory walked downstairs to see no one there "Guess everyone's asleep" Patrick said and Tory nodded "Let's go to the kitchen. I'm starving" Patrick said and they walked to the kitchen and Tory heated Patrick share of food and gave it to him with a glass of orange juice and water, which he ate and drank wholeheartedly. After eating, Tory took Patrick to his room and wished him good night and she left Patrick room, leaving Patrick alone.
    "Good night Claire" Patrick said and sleep took him
     "Night Patrick" Claire said snuggling with her pillow and sleep took her as well.
